I am not the only one here who thinks that the way to a successful business is to have the most money, the most respect, and the most power. It makes sense, right? But when I was a young man, I made a lot of mistakes. I was a “business owner”, but the “business” I was a part of didn’t really have a business.
Like many businesses, this one did, but it was a business that had a bad name. It was known as “Killer Whale” and it was owned and operated by a man named “Tak.” He took advantage of the fact that I had a small business, and I had the reputation of having a long, chequered history with other business owners.
It got so bad that my friend and business partner was worried about me having a heart attack. As he was telling me about the danger this business posed, he paused and asked “But what about my business reputation?” I told him that I was planning on starting a new business and that I wanted to keep the Killer Whale name alive. I told him he could keep my share of the profits, and I would donate the rest. But that I didn’t want to be known as the Killer Whale.
That’s a fair point. When you start a new business, you don’t want to be associated with the legacy of a killer whale. In that vein, if you have a good business and are making a profit, you might want to consider using a business name that isn’t related to a whale on your business cards, website, etc.
You can be the Killer Whale. Thats a good idea.
I think I have always had a bit of a problem with companies naming themselves “the killer whale”. I dont know if you are aware of this, but in 2010, an Australian company called the Killer Whale Clothing Company went under. It was a great success for the company. It also was a good test case for internet freedom, as the company allowed anyone to buy T-shirts with its logo, which was deemed a violation of its terms of use regarding trademarks.
I think the killer whale meme is a good example of how companies can take a position on something and then later change their minds. My thoughts about this are in the next post.
The killer whale meme became so popular that it got its own Wikipedia page, which was created by the company’s CEO, Peter Hirst. He has since left the company, and the company’s Facebook page has since been removed from the internet.
The company that has removed the page is not a company that I know of, but I just found a page that links to the page on Facebook, which is not a company that I know of. It appears to be a company that has an interest in the meme, but I don’t know the specifics.
The company that removed the page, which seems to be called “Citizen” is a company that I do not know of except that the company was founded by the CEO of the company that removed the page. It appears to be a company that is not a company I know of.
